"In The A" is certainly self-referential-- the hook nods to "Kryptonite (I'm On It)" while the halftime extravaganza of a beat suggests "General Patton" giving orders to the Morris Brown marching band. But can your really think of getting exactly what you expect as a disappointment? Maybe for a split second, before you remember the legitimate thrill of hearing these three rap like they've got nothing to prove to anyone other than each other. If you're looking for surprises, here's Ludacris earning his spot as the closer, delivering the sort of scene-stealing verse we haven't heard from him since...seemingly forever. Combined with typically heady and dense bars from Big Boi and T.I., this is Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors giving us the truth.
